Welcome to the Blackfly Bonefish Lodge in Abaco Bahamas, where fly fishing for bonefish is a way of life. Fly fishing in Abaco is an easy choice because of the large number of bonefish and permit and it's proximity to Florida with direct flights to Marsh Harbor from many cities on the mainland.
We're located on the beautiful island of Abaco in the northern Bahamas, home to some of the largest and best bonefishing in the world.

Blackfly Lodge now offers to our guests a unique golf option at one of the Caribbean's Premier courses. The Abaco Club on Winding Bay is a private golf community featuring a Donald Steel tropical links styled course. Come in early, stay late and enjoy this great golf option. For tee times, green fees and club rental info please give us a call. Visit The Abaco Club website.

Stories about bonefishing in Abaco have been around for years, but that's nothing compared to the real life action you can find also casting to permit, tarpon, barracudas and mutton snappers on the crystal clear flats surrounding the island. Although flyfishing in Abaco is the most common way anglers catch bonefish, we still host many spin fisherman throughout the year. Bonefishing in the Bahamas has reached a near cult status among flyfisherman in recent years and
Blackfly Lodge gives the serious fly angler another incredible destination to pursue their sport. We know you'll enjoy the new Blackfly Lodge in Schooner Bay. If you love flyfishing in the Bahamas, you'll love bonefishing in southern Abaco at the Blackfly Lodge.

Blackfly Lodge is accepting fishing reservations through our booking office at Blackfly Outfitter in Jacksonville Florida. We can accommodate up to 8 anglers fishing for 2 to 7 days per week, each with their own private bath and room, 2 anglers per boat.
Please contact Jean Cochran at 904 997 2220 to make your reservations. You can reach us by email at blackfly.jean@gmail.com

June Russell most likely is the person who will greet you when you arrive at Blackfly Lodge. June lives in Abaco and is our on site business manager, blue water fishing fanatic, licensed real estate broker, great Italian cook and leader of our "ladies excursions" away from the lodge.

This is a very private and exclusive fishing excursion that some of our anglers have said is the best fishing experience they have ever had in the Bahamas. After reading the testimonials from our recent guests, you'll be reaching for your bags, tying new flies and making your plane reservations.
